Application led October invention relates to tobacco pipes, and

provision ot meansl Jifor .venting bits ot tobacco or ash trom passinto the mouth ot the user,

In lTig. 1, 1 have modified torni ot on the line 8-8 oit F 1g. 1, and taken on the line 99 of ed; `ldig. 7 is a jfragmensiinilar to lEig. 1 but device; Fig. 81s

may be made of any central perforation in` smoke passage ot the The members 11 and 12 suitable material, such as wood, and tit snugly together by pressure,

although the abutting longitudinal surfaces may be provided with inter-engaging screw threads, it desired.

The mouthpiece 13 may be of somewhat the usual torni, but

instead ot being pro.-

vided with a lono'itudinal oassae'e or 9ert'oration 14 throughout its length,

is recessed tor the reception ot a moisture trap 15 that may be ot metal or other suitable material and which tits snugly within the recessed portion ot the. mouthpiece 14. The trap 15 is provided with a recessed portion 16 into which the rear end of the tube 17 extends.

rilhe tube 17 is provided with V-notches 18 at its rear end so that smoke which tlows through the tube from its Jiorward to its rear end may emerge from its rear end and flow liorwardly out oi sides ot the tube 17, being Ot greater wi the recess 16, along the recessed portion 16 than the tube 17.

the dth rlhe top and bottom faces of the tube 17, may

however, have. a` snu g it with the top and 9, 1925. Serial No. 61,459.

bottoni walls of the recess in the portion 1G. Smoke which emerges Afrom the iorward end ot the portion 16 is then drawn backward ly through grooves 19 and thence to the passage 14. y i

The trap 15 is provided with a semicircular recess 21 and with an annular portion 2:2 that is threaded on its exterior surface tor engagement with a collar 23 that is secured to the tube 17. 17 and the tr:i1,1i'15, the tubeis insertedy to substantially the position shown in'Fig.u 4, and the collar 28 then screwed upon' the portion`22. 1When the tube and the trap have been assembled as shown in Fig. be inserted in the block 12, by pressure,vin

ie manner shown in Fig. .1, the tube 17 pretei'ably extending some fdistance into the passage in the. block 12, and the collar 23 having snug fitting engagement with the notched recess in the block 12.

When the parts are thus assembled, it will be seen 'that smoke will pass through the stem 11 to the block 12, tube 17, passages 19 and the passage 14. The condensation and saliva which accumulate in the mouth piece will iiow through the grooves 19 and into the well 21, where it will be out oi' the path oic smoke being drawn trom the. bowl 1t). Bits ot tobacco which may be drawn from the pipe bowl will either lodge within the recessed portion 16 or be projected outwardly toward the Vwell 21 when emerging trom said recess, since the direction of travel of the smoke is reversed at that point and the tobacco will not be carried back along the grooves 16 to the passage 14.

1t will be seen that a ccnsiclerable volume or" smoke may accumulate within the space contained in and surrounding the trap 15, so that it will become cooled, and Vfurthermore vany solid material drawn through the tube 17 may settle in the trap and not be drawn through the grooves 19.

The trap 15 may be cleaned 'from time to `time by withdrawing the mouthpiece 13 from the block 12 and then removing either the collar 23 and the tube 17 from the trap 15 or by removing the trap 15 trom the mouthpiece, as desired.

Referring to Fig. 7 I have shown a structure similar to that of Figs. 1 to 6 but where in the block 12 is eliminated. In this structure the stem 11EL is provided with a recess for lthe 'reception of the collar 23EL and the forward end of the trap 15a. In the device .in assembling the tube V 4, they may y of Fig. l it is possible to apply my invention to the pipe stem ll of usual form7 the block l2 serving as a coupling' member. ln the form shown in Fig. it may be necessary to modify the rear end of the stem 1l:L by reaming the same out for tl e reception of the collar 23".

The trap l5 and tube l? may be lmade integral if desired, and the tube 17 need not entend entirely to the rear of the chamber within the portion 16, in which case the V- shaped recesses 1S will not be required. lnstead of the recesses 1S circular openings `could be provided for the emission of smoke drawn from the bowl l0.

l claim as my invention l. rlhe combination with a tobacco pipe provided with a bowl and a mouthpiece, of a moisture receptacle comprising a member having a semicircularly recessed portion for the reception of moisture7 a second recessed portion closed at its rear end and extending into the mouthpiece, and a smoke tube tending rearwardly from said bowl into said second recessed portion.

2. The combination with a tobacco pipe provided with a stem having` a smoke orifice at its rear end and a bowl, of a removable moisture receptacle mounted in said stem and comprising` a. receptacle channeled for a portion of its length and provided with a recessed portion that communicates with said channeled portion, and a smoke tube extendinginto said recessed portion and communicating' at its forward end with the pipe bowl, the recessed portion being provided with a longitudinal groove on its exterior surface to permit communication be- Y tween the. interior of the recess and the said orifice.

3. The combination with a tobacco pipe provided with a bowl and a recessed mouthpiece having an orifice, of a deflector 1ne1nber having a recessed portion disposed within said mouthpiece, a forwardly extending portion, a. smoke tube supported by said extension and having its rear end extending into said recessed portion, the smoke tube communicating at its forward end with said bowl, and a smoke groove provided exteriorly of the said recessed portion to provide communication between the interior of the recessed portion and said orifice.

In testimony whereof the said WILLIAM A. GREEN have hereunto set mv hand.
